Desensitization huh. This sounds kinda reasonable if you ignore the part with the subconscious self-defense mechanism :meguu:

This is maddeningly ass-backwards logic. Why would his body on on high-alert if it's been "too peaceful"? If his body associates sleep with danger, shouldn't he be an incredibly light sleeper? How is desensitization supposed to help with that? It's gonna be just as tense and alert, just not jumping at every stimulus. An improvement, sure, but not dealing with the underlying issue. And how is this even supposed to desensitize him? Exposing yourself to danger makes you more alert and more reactive. It improves your ability to discern what's dangerous and what isn't, but only after you went through the whole business of reacting.

Just fucking handwave this with a "trust me bro" or whatever to get your MC to go on a mythical training trip to deal with his sleep grabbines or make the explanation make absolutely no sense and just fry his brain. This horseshit is how cults are made.

Because his threshold for what is dangerous is too low. Once he is exposed to actual almost kill you danger, his threshold for activation will be increased.

I thought the same… While reading that part, I was thinking: wouldn’t this make it worse?
